Elliott Smith, Ben Folds and "Randomness"

So I was at work this morning, and just finished listening to Shinola Vol. 1 by Ween (Not too bad, a little uneven, but decent for an in between album release). Anyhoo, I put my MP3 player on Random Play All, and it starts up with the fantastic "Memory Lane" by Elliott Smith. So the spooky "random" part of this is that the next song that came on after "Memory Lane" is "Late" by Ben Folds. . . The song he wrote after he heard Elloitt Smith had died . . . FREAKY!!! Well, I tend to think that machines cannot do "real" randomness since they are basically following an algorithm, but it still freaked the hell out of me! Some tribute songs are so gushy and stupid, but I really like "Late." A snippet of lyric from "Late": Elliott, man, you played a fine guitar And some dirty basketball The songs you wrote Got me through a lot Just wanna tell you that But it's too late It's too late No, don't you know it's been too late for a long time
